I think I'm going to wait to start my new Raiders franchise after the patch

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

Remember Madden's past when we'd get one patch, MAYBE?

We're getting big issues fixed in October/November...that's something we haven't seen before. Remember when David Ortiz ran the Madden team????

We're STILL getting these patches mid/late in the football season,so what's your point? By the time the 2nd patch comes out,I'm sure most will have moved on already...alot of guys are waiting to start a franchise when it drops....already mid-way through the season!....and this is acceptable to you?

What would you guys that are being overly critical prefer, that they just never bothered to fix anything? I can't believe people are being critical of them for trying to fix issues. EVERY game ships with bugs/glitches. Not every game gets them fixed.

Do you want to ENCOURAGE or DISCOURAGE the current development teams attempts to fix the games bugs? Geez.

See,the thing is....what their "attempting" to fix,should not be broken in the first place. This is football,the game has remained the same for how many years now?? with the exception of rule changes,the "x's" and "o's" are common place.
I agree...games DO ship with bugs and glitches....BUT....the big difference is longevity. I'm sure MOST people would like to play their franchise at/or around the start of the season....NOT mid-way through the season.

You'll have to wait to start a franchise if you want stat glitch fixes.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

Can't wait for this game update/patch. I don't mind this game to begin with. Cant wait to see how it plays out as a finished product.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

Madden is the most fun game ever. I used to always play franchises against the CPU, but when I played online for the first time last year I was amazed at how bad I was! well Im 23-10 this year online so far. I am so glad EA spends time to fix these things for online play and do their best to prevent cheating.


Ian,

I would really REALLY like it if Madden 11 focused on the play in the Trenches. I think the Offensive and Defensive Line play is one of the weaker parts of the game, along with my computer counterparts on defense they arent too good but sounds like you guys are fixing some of those things (flats, pursuit, etc).

I would like to see my lineman who are pulling on running plays be a little more aware of who they need to block and who they dont need to block. I also think the pass rush on defense is not good enough. It also seems like offensive lineman who aren't good can block defensive lineman who are good.

I would really like to see a Defensive or Offensive Tackle on the cover next year to symbolize the importance of the trenches (Clady??)

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

So Im guessing staduim specific sounds didn't make it in the patch?? If not, thats crazy, I thought the devs said they would add this in.

If the stadium sounds didn't get patched that is extremely WEAK.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

I would just like to know what positions will the offline franchise stats get fixed for? I know the 2 biggest ones is OL pancakes and CB tackles, but many others are:

-OL pancakes (not enough)
-CB tackles (not enough) and sometimes INT's (not enough)
-QB yards (too much) and sometimes TD's (too much)
-RB TD's (not enough)
-WR yards (too much for most) and TD's (too much for most)

These are all I've noticed as have many, many others. I know these are known issues and that Ian and Co. are going to fix Franchise stats, but I was just wondering which ones specifically? Anyone heard any specifics?

Could you imagine how much trouble EA would be in if 2k could make an NFL game? 2k really takes care of their customers.

Some things have changed since 2004. Practically every serious household has changed the type of television set they have in their house, we've had a new generation of consoles, and the resources required to develop a quality sports game nowadays are exponentially higher. What 2k did with 2k5 was admirable, but it's not at all instructive on what they're capable of now. Also, anyone who played MLB 2k9 would probably take issue with the notion that "2k takes care of their customers". Not when they patch the game and outfielders still can't catch flyballs with any regularity!

Recently, I've been buying back some of my favorite PS2 sports titles used for like 99 cents, either for nostalgia, or if my wife is blocking the TV with the 360 on it. As much as people talk about how great those games were, I have a tough time playing them. The framerates are terrible and it's just tough to believe what you see on the screen. In other words, the technology has come a long way since then. Sure I wish we could get a modern, 60fps, true HD version of 2k football with NFL licensing, but it just isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Blog: 2nd Title Update Preliminary Details

I thinks it's bit late for a patch. I'm having fun without it, but this game, for me, is gonna hit the shelf soon, with games like Forza 3 and Dragon Age coming out in the next few weeks I won't have time for Madden. Maybe I'll pick it up again in January when the playoffs start before I get rid of it.
